New Sailing Base:
Olive Island Marina – Your Gateway to the Zadar Archipelago
We are thrilled to announce that Sailhunt’s second charter base for the 2026 season will be in Olive Island Marina, a stunning and award-winning marina in the peaceful bay of Sutomišćica on the island of Ugljan.
This beautiful location is an idyllic starting point for unforgettable sailing adventures across Zadar Archipelago — blending comfort, convenience, and authentic Dalmatian charm.
Nestled in a deep, well-protected bay, Olive Island Marina offers a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with a wide range of modern amenities.
From a refreshing pool and sun deck to pristine beaches, panoramic sea terraces, and a children’s playground, everything here is designed for your comfort.
Savour delicious Dalmatian cuisine at the on-site Olive Garden Restaurant, where dishes are prepared fresh with local ingredients that reflect the heart of Adriatic flavours.
